  • With all the advancements in recording and technology, and the dozens of recordings of the 8th out there, Bernstein's is still the benchmark.

  • great version to see and hear but sync a little off. Bernstein awesome!

  • paulybarr -The gal in white was giving lenny the eye all though the piece. A total waste of her time of course.

  • Love it where he jumps off the ground when the cymbals come in.

  • damn, but those soloists are brilliant!

  • I never saw someone so in charge of so many performers and his own emotions! lol

  • I.L.L. !

  • Heard this from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Awesome part at the beginning of this video!

  • @paulybarr Yup, totally right, unfortunately.

  • Er, calm down,aagjmb ! I'm not correcting the wonderful Bernstein. In your innocence, your kneejerk, defensive reaction is to express outrage that I am somehow criticising Lennie's interpretation. I am not at all. I think it's one of the most electrifying performances I've ever heard- it's up there with the Solti and Rattle, in my books. But I am a university - educated musician who has a special interest in early 20th music, including Mahler. Just saying the girls fucked up there!
